Either check the md5 numbers, the filesizes, or use the torrent to repair your download.
Looks like number 3 or 4 of the bin files is corrupted.

how do I check the md5 numbers???

**bɑne** · August 03, 2010, 03:06 PM

You could use
WinMd5Sum Portable
for example.

**Alpha Zeke** · August 03, 2010, 03:07 PM

Not sure how exactly too use it, except that you compare the MD5's of your downloads to the ones provided on the 6.3 released page using my attached free-ware program!

*and by mine I mean i have it, not that i made it or anything!

*damnit bane.

Well at least give him the instructions that are on the download site as well

winMd5Sum Portable makes it easy to verify that the files you download are unaltered when on the go. Simply drag and drop a file to the window and it will calculate the Md5 sum in seconds. You can even copy and paste the published md5 sum into the compare box to quickly compare it. PortableApps.com publishes the md5 sums for all its apps, so you can easily ensure that you have the real deal.

As in, different from the numbers in the release post? Ouch.

edit: and I'm downloading the torrent now

If your using utorrent stop the torrent and do the following:
Copy your SS6.3 files from the failed download into the folder you selected the torrent to save in.
Replace the files there with the failed downloads.
Then rightclick the torrent and chose "force recheck" or similar (should be an option near the bottom, 4th last).
If your lucky most of the files will check out 90% ok and you'll save much time. Worst case you are where you are now.
After the just hit start again. Good luck.

Your torrent knowledge out smarticles mine :/

**bɑne** · August 03, 2010, 03:35 PM

The secret is specialisation. If your down and your up sucks then you'll have to resort to tricks like using http mirrors and failed downloads to speed up a torrent.
Before today I didn't even know how to create one - I'm still waiting for the first screams of outrage because something turns out to be wrong with it

**Alpha Zeke** · August 03, 2010, 03:52 PM

Wow. Your confidence hides your n00bishness. Good job!

**bɑne** · August 03, 2010, 03:58 PM

Here I was thinking I downplay my expertise by hiding my confidence.

**Alpha Zeke** · August 03, 2010, 04:03 PM

Oh, you sly dog.

Glad to help. Btw if you can, rep as a thank you. I don't care much about it (its a flawed system) but others do.

I care about things such as rep until you have enough that you look important, then its fine for me. Or I could be fancy and hide my rep, then my posts do the talking, and I does a lot of talking
